Gaochun Old Street is located in Gaochun, Nanjing, in China. It is a national AAA level[1] tourist scenic zone. It is the best-preserved old street from the Chinese Ming and Qing Dynasty in Jiangsu Province.
It has been published as a provincial heritage unit[2] several years ago. It is called Gaochun Chunxi Old Street (Chinese: 高淳淳溪老街) as well. Gaochun has recently been named International Slow-rhythm City[3] which means people living there lead a relatively slow and peaceful life.
Gaochun Old Street is more than 345m (1,132feet)[4] long, and 3.5m (11.5feet) wide now. It was 800m (2,600feet)long originally. The street is lined on both sides with old-styled shops selling goods and services of interest to tourists. There are also other tourist attractions such as the Qianlong Old Well (Chinese: 乾隆老井)and the Guanwang Temple .[5]
